>>>Calls (or puts) on FXP = the max leverage I can imagine <<< FXP itself up over 14% today. Best bear fund I ever got into. For today anyway. Went ahead and doubled my position since all I see is a vacuum when the dollar keeps dropping and Chinese exports start to dry up.

FXP calls have huge time premiums. The June 85 is only $1 in the money, yet sold today for $20! January 85 is selling for $4 with only three days left. The bid/ask spreads on these options are huge. I guess that's what volatility and uncertainty yields.
